Epilogue: Science, a Harsh Mistress, James M. Kauffman
Hill M. Walker, PhD, is Founder and Co-Director of the Institute
on Violence and Destructive Behavior and Professor Emeritus in the
Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences at the
University of Oregon, and is Senior Scientist at the Oregon
Research Institute. The only faculty member to receive the
University of Oregon's highest honor, the Presidential Medal, Dr.
Walker is also a recipient of honors including the Distinguished
Achievement Award from the Association of University Centers on
Disabilities and the Kauffman-Hallahan Distinguished Researcher
Award from the Division for Research of the Council for Exceptional
Children. His research and more than 175 publications focus on
social skills assessment, intervention and curricular development,
early intervention and prevention with at-risk children and
students, longitudinal research on students with EBD and their
families, and behavioral-ecological approaches to school
intervention.
Frank M. Gresham, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Psychology
at Louisiana State University. He is a Fellow of the American
Psychological Association (APA) and of APA Divisions 16 (School
Psychology), 5 (Quantitative and Qualitative Methods), and 53
(Society for Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology). He is a
recipient of the Lightner Witmer Award and the Senior Scientist
Award from APA Division 16. Dr. Gresham is one of the few
psychologists to be awarded Fellow status in the American
Association for the Advancement of Science. His research and more
than 260 publications address topics including social skills
assessment and intervention, response to intervention, and
assessment and interventions for students with emotional and
behavioral disorders. He is codeveloper of the Social Skills
Improvement System Rating Scales.
"Edited by two giants in the field, this handbook is logically
organized into relevant sections, with thorough coverage ranging
from educational interventions to genetic factors. Critical
strengths include a focus on research foundations and
evidence-based practices and a clear discussion of what is and is
not known about this population. Chapter authors are outstanding
scholars in their specialties. Far superior to other edited volumes
in this area in terms of organization, coverage, and author
quality, the Handbook is a 'must buy' for specialists in behavior
disorders and challenges."--Dan Reschly, PhD, Department of Special
Education, Peabody College of Vanderbilt University
"Walker and Gresham have provided a major gift to the field.
Leading experts on EBD present the foundations and specific
intervention guidance needed by teachers, school psychologists,
administrators, and researchers. The field of special education is
changing--multi-tiered systems of support and integrated approaches
to linking mental health, academic instruction, and behavioral
intervention are now expected. This handbook defines the best
science for assisting children with EBD and their families, while
also addressing the organizational variables and data systems
necessary to deliver this science. An impressive
accomplishment."--Robert H. Horner, PhD, Alumni–Knight Endowed
Professor of Special Education, University of Oregon
"I have adopted the Handbook of Evidence-Based Practices for
Emotional and Behavioral Disorders as the central text for my
Psychotherapeutic Interventions course. In my experience, the term
'best practice' is often thrown about without an adequate
understanding of what it means. This volume provides a
comprehensive look at the evidence base for a variety of assessment
practices, interventions, and service delivery models used for
children and adolescents with EBD, and helps students and
practitioners examine current practices in light of
research."--Adam D. Weaver, PhD, Department of Psychology,
University of Nebraska at Omaha
"While every educator now recognizes the importance of
evidence-based practices with all students, busy K-12 practitioners
do not have the time to read all the literature, separate research
from opinion, and further separate quality research from the rest.
That distillation process has been done for us by Walker and
Gresham in this invaluable handbook. The volume provides an
indispensable roadmap and travel guide to the implementation of
best practices. When implemented well, these practices can
transform the trajectories of our most challenging-to-teach
students."--Randy Sprick, PhD, Director, Safe and Civil Schools -A
comprehensive and extremely helpful tool for school social workers.
It provides proven strategies to assist with students. This book is
a one-stop shop when you need some ideas for helping students or
you would like to enhance your practice….I learned many things that
I didn't know, even after practicing for ten years.--School Social
